Topic: HIV risk - semen touch on penis (Read 11021 times)

I had recently visited a massage parlour.. I was lying naked on a tissue paper towel with my face down.. No oral sex..

I was ejacuated when she was giving me a massage and I released semen.. I am just scared if someone elses semen HIV+ (of the customer who had visited before me) would be there on the tissue paper towel and would have touched my penis and entered my penis..

R there any chances of me gettin infected? Pls reply as i m gettin sleepless nights?

There is absolutely no possibility of HIV transmission in the situation you have described. HIV is not transmitted from either being masturbated, massaged or from environmental surfaces. Even if your penis was dipping into a puddle of someone other guy's semen.

It is through unprotected intercourse when the penis is in a vagina or an anus that the HIV virus has an opportunity in a receptive setting for the virus to be transmitted. Absolutely not in the circumstances you have described.

I had visited a massage parlour recently.. I was lying naked with my face down.. The lady massaged me using a massage oil and touched my anus at regular intervals..

I am just scared that if she had cuts on her fingers and if she was bleeding (HIV+) and the blood would have gone into my anus (i.e mucous membrance).. It is important to point out that I also have cuts on my anus due to excessive wiping.. Am I at risk of getting HIV+?

chintuu, your questions will not be answered until you return to original thread.

■Please do not start a new thread every time you have another question or thought - regardless if you think your questions are related to each other or not. It helps us to help you when you keep all your thoughts or questions in one thread and it helps other readers to follow the discussion. Additional threads will be merged.

I've merged your threads. Please follow our rule and keep all of your comments in this same thread.

Once again you are worrying needlessly. Your masseur could have had fresh semen dripping from her fingers and that still wouldn't have been a risk to you. Of course she didn't have semen-covered hands, right? HIV is a fragile virus. It needs the kind of receptive setting which unprotected vaginal and anal intercourse provide.

So even if you had cuts around your anus and whatever other details your anxious mind comes up with, you did not have a risk. Period. End of story.

I am sorry if I did not make my self clear in my previous thread. The only worry that is killing me is that what if the lady who gave me the massage had cuts on her fingers and HER own infected blood would have gone into my anus (mucous membrane). My anus (mucous membrane) would have come into contact with her infected blood as i said i have cuts on my anus due to excessive wiping..what are my chances then? please advise me frankly as this thought is killing me..

thanks once again for your patience..hope i have made myself clear now..may god bless you..

Anyone who continues to post excessively, questioning a conclusive negative result orno-risk situation, will be subject to a four week Time Out (a temporary ban from the Forums). If you continue to post excessively after one Time Out, you may be given a second Time Out which will last eight weeks. There is no third Time Out - it is a permanent ban. The purpose of a Time Out is to encourage you to seek the face-to-face help we cannot provide on this forum.

Thanks Andy.. May god bless you.. I know I may get banned, but I hope you have answered my question keeping in mind the possibility of the infected BLOOD going in my ANUS or cuts around my anus?.. I am scared if i made my question clear to you?

thanks for your patience but i hope u understand my situation..its killin me.. I promise i wont come back if this is answered..
